#### Importing a JT File

The JT file format is a relatively light-weight file format capable of containing large assemblies of parts with faceted data, lighting, textures, curves and surfaces; product and manufacturing information (GD&T callouts); and other information. It is useful for visualization and collaboration.

To import a JT file:

1. Open the inspection plan in Planner into which you are going to import the JT file.

2. Select the File | Import | JT menu option to show an Import dialog box.

3. Use the Import dialog box and navigate to the folder that contains the file to import. Then select the file.

4. Click the Import button. Planner imports the CAD data from the JT file.

5. If your model contains embedded GD&T callouts, Planner asks if you want to create Edit window commands from the GD&T callouts:

   - If you click Yes, the importer also imports and converts the GD&T callouts into GD&T and other Edit window commands.

   - If you click No, the importer does not convert the GD&T callouts. (You can always use the Operation | Graphic Display Window | Select GD&T menu item to convert all the CAD GD&T callouts later; or for specific callouts, you can box-select or click on them. For additional information on CAD GD&T callouts, see "Working with CAD GD&T Callouts".)

During the import process, you can cancel or stop the import.

- Cancel - This button cancels the import altogether. If you already had a CAD model loaded before the import, PC-DMIS retains the previous CAD model.

- Stop - This button stops the import, but keeps any imported CAD elements up to that point.
